<VV> Respect the Corvair Deserves

[Joe Robbins]

I had DaVair at a car show yesterday setting next to a real 68 Z/28 with a
302. I got many more comments and compliments than the Camaro  got. I love
the comments from people, all positive, two people asked if the radiator
setting on top of the motor kept it cool. <gg> I did tell them that it has
A/C, most people ask if it's factory A/C , maybe since it's a ragtop that
throws them. Always fun to get the car out in public for people to  see. I
have yet to go to a local show and have another Corvair be there.

Have you noticed the change in the last few years where the Corvair is
finally getting some of the respect that it deserves? It used to be that I
was almost embarrased to take my Corvair to a car show (not really), but now
they draw attention at the shows and cruise nights. I was driving my 66
Corsa convertible around town this morning and a new Porsche Carrera pulled
up along side. He gave me the thumbs up, rolled down his window and said he
used to have one when he was a kid, then said 'they're a great car'. It's
not that I need this type of validation for me to enjoy my Corvairs, but I
just love the fact that folks are starting to respect and appreciate them. I
guess folks are finally starting to realize what we've all known for a long
time.
